Answer:
b) hammered into shape
Explanation:
According to the excerpt from Stuff Matters by Mark Miodownik, it is narrated that metals were a great discovery which replaced the use of stones and bones as they were easily malleable unlike the other previously used material.
The line from the excerpt that provides context that supports the meaning of the word malleable is "hammered into shape". This is because for a thing to be malleable, it means that it its shape can be easily altered.
Please include the sentences
C) "During the 1300s, a secret passage helped free an English king who was taken captive by his enemies."
Explanation:
<u>A topic sentence must convey the idea of the whole paragraph.</u> <u>In that sense the paragraph here works on the idea of secret passages being historically significant</u> in the important events that changed the course of history.
Thus either the first sentence of the paragraph or this sentence fit the description stated above. Out of all the options given this statement directly refers to the theme and thus is the topic sentence.
The answer is 3 and 1/5 if you want it in a mixed number. if you want it in an improper fraction it would be 16/5.
hope this helps!
